After much deliberation, His Majesty Li Er couldn't figure out why the Changsun family did this.
More importantly, if this incident was planned by Changsun Wuji, with his understanding of Changsun Wuji, he would never leave such an obvious clue.
Besides, Changsun's family and the royal family were married, and Changsun Wuji and himself had worked hard to conquer this world.
Regardless of his friendship with Changsun Wuji, or the relationship between Changsun's family and the royal family, it is impossible for Changsun Wuji to rebel.
Because only by following the footsteps of the royal family, the Changsun family will gain the greatest benefits.
Since it is impossible for Changsun Wuji to rebel, and Yang Fan is confident in his words.
So now we have to figure out a question. Is there any definite evidence to prove that Changsun Wuji did it?
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er stared at Yang Fan and asked: "You keep saying that these soldiers are sent by the Changsun family, but there are witnesses and physical evidence that prove that the leader is a member of the Changsun family? Are there direct descendants of the Changsun family among them?" "
Yang Fan rolled his eyes and was speechless.
If he could capture the direct descendants of the Changsun family, why would he come here with all his injuries to gain sympathy?
It was precisely because when Li Junxian and Xi Junmai rushed to Changsun's farm, they found not only the escaped soldiers but also Changsun Bin's body.
According to the confession of the servants at Changsun's farm, Changsun Chong was still at the farm during the day, and they had no idea whether he was still there at night.
Although Yang Fan was certain that all of this was Chang Sun Chong's fault, he didn't catch the scene after all. This left him looking for a direct descendant of the Chang Sun family to be the scapegoat.
However, regarding His Majesty Li Er's question, Yang Fan still said categorically: "Your Majesty, as for whether what the minister said is true, you can immediately send someone to verify it. The King of Hejian County and the craftsmen from the Firearms Supervision were all there at that time. It is true that There were about two hundred people who attacked the firearms prison. The leader was Zhangsun Bin, the housekeeper of the Changsun family. It was we who used the thunder to repel them and allowed them to escape back to the farm of the Changsun family. You will know once you check. true and false."
His Majesty Li Er thought he had discovered something fishy and rebuked angrily: "In my opinion, you and Li Junxian can be regarded as veteran generals in the army. Not only are the Firearms Prison guarded by more than 20 forbidden troops, but they also sent 100 Baiqi, there are more than 100 of you in total, so it’s a calculated calculation without any care.”
"In addition, the opponent's total number is only two hundred, but they can actually kill so many of you and injure so many of you. In the end, it took the thunder to repel them. Do you think my hundred riders are from Zhihu, or do you think I'm stupid?"
In Li Er's view, there were more than 100 people stationed at the firearms prison. With the strength of Baiqi, even if the two hundred thieves were strong soldiers in the army, it was impossible to kill them with such heavy casualties.
The personnel in Baiqili are all selected from a million, and they are all brave men in the army.
So many people are enough to destroy a tribe, but the other party can kill you by surprise with a big knife. It's pure bullshit!
Speaking of this, Yang Fan was still angry. If Duan Zhixuan hadn't interfered, he wouldn't have lost so many people.
Not to mention the dead guards, the two seriously injured special forces soldiers made Yang Fan feel pain.
Now that His Majesty Li Er was still doubting, Yang Fan couldn't help but get furious. He looked into His Majesty Li Er's eyes without any sign of weakness and said firmly: "Your Majesty, if even one word of what I just said is false, I dare to guarantee it with my head. As for why there were so many casualties, it was because of some villain's mischief, which prevented General Li's hundred cavalry from supporting them. Your Majesty can ask General Li Junxian about this in person."
"You mean there are still people helping these people enter the firearms prison?" His Majesty Li Er asked with a frown.
Yang Fan neither confirmed nor denied, but asked: "Your Majesty, I don't have any evidence, so I dare not say whether anyone else was involved, but your Majesty can think about it."
"The reason why the Firearms Supervision Bureau was originally built near the Daming Palace was because there were guards patrolling the Daming Palace."
"Two hundred people is not a small target. If no one cooperates, how can so many people bypass the Forbidden Army's defense line?"
After hearing Yang Fan's analysis, His Majesty Li Er fell silent.
Indeed, as he said, the reason why the Firearms Supervision Bureau was originally built in the Ming Dynasty was
It is near the palace for safety reasons.
Li Er rubbed his head, his head hurt.
He really didn't expect that even the Forbidden Army would be involved. It seemed like there were quite a few people involved!
For a moment, the hall fell into silence.
At this time, Wang Huangui came in with the imperial doctor, making Li Er also notice Yang Fan's condition.
There's no way this guy could deliberately injure himself like this to make fun of himself.
You know, the dense iron pieces on Yang Fan's back make people take a breath of cold air.
If these iron pieces were deeper, it might be impossible for gods to save him!
Now Yang Fan has lost too much blood and his face is a little pale. If you argue with him at this time, Yang Fan may not even cooperate with treatment.
If there is really something wrong, how can I explain it to my daughter?
If he becomes a widow before he gets married, Li Er will really become a joke!
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er did not get entangled with Yang Fan and directly gave the order: "Okay, I will carefully consider what you said and let the imperial doctor treat your wounds first. Otherwise, do you think your body is made of iron?"
After hearing Li Er's words, Yang Fan sighed slightly.
It is really difficult for His Majesty Li Er to make a decision on the spot.
It seems that Changsun Wuji's status in his heart is really different.
If others were involved in this kind of thing, even if they were just suspected, His Majesty Li Er might have them arrested.
However, of course Yang Fan would not give up so easily and said again: "Thank you for your Majesty's grace. Let the imperial doctor treat Zai Weichen's wounds on the spot."
"As for what Wei Chen said just now, all the evidence points to Changsun Chong. All we need to do is call him in and confront him, and the truth will come to light."
After saying that, Yang Fan remained silent and turned his head to indicate to the imperial doctor that he could treat the wound.
Li Er really didn't expect Yang Fan to be so stubborn. It seemed that this kid would not give up unless he was given an explanation.
Then he turned to the old eunuch Wang Huangui and said, "Go and announce that today's court meeting will be postponed for the time being. Someone will go to the scene immediately and let Li Junxian and Li Xiaogong present the detailed investigation results."
"No!" Wang Huangui took the order and left quickly.
Half an hour later, Li Junxian arrived at Ganlu Hall.
The horse racing along the way made Li Junxian sweat profusely.
Entering the main hall, Li Junxian knelt down and reported back: "Your Majesty, I will inspect the scene and make statistics with the Prince of Hejian. This time the Firearms Prison was attacked. Seventeen people of the Imperial Army were killed and eight others were seriously injured. The seriously injured person survived. The chance of coming down is also very small.”
"One hundred and thirty-two of the intruders were killed on the spot, and more than thirty were seriously injured. The rest escaped and were all killed or captured by the general."
"After interrogation, it was found that the invading bandits were led by Changsun Bin. This person was once the steward of the Changsun family. For some unknown reason, this person died suddenly on the farm in the early morning. As for whether there is anyone behind the scenes, it remains to be verified!"
"In addition, in this incident, the reason why the general was unable to respond in time was because he was deliberately obstructed and delayed by Duke Bao. There is a detailed record in the booklet. Your Majesty is requested to review the specific process."
Li Junxian made a brief report and then handed over a pile of paper.
Obviously, these were just recorded confessions and narratives, and there was no time to sort them out.
However, His Majesty Li Er did not blame him and browsed it roughly.
"Is he really from the Changsun family?"
His Majesty Li Er frowned, and combined with the evidence in his hand, it was easy to think of Changsun Chong.
Changsun Chong and Yang Fan have a long-standing grudge, and they obviously have motives and reasons for doing this.
Moreover, as the steward of the Changsun family, Changsun Bin could not give orders to others.
There were both witnesses and physical evidence. Although Chang Sun Chong was not caught on the spot, Chang Sun Chong could not escape the involvement.
The thing should be that Changsun Chong fell into trouble in Yang Fan's hands several times and held a grudge against Yang Fan.
He wanted to launch a surprise attack while Yang Fan was in charge of the firearms supervision.
If Yang Fan can be killed, not only can he get rid of
Losing an opponent can avenge bloodshed even more.
Even if Yang Fan cannot be killed, the firearms in the firearms prison can still be stolen.
Today was the day when Yang Fan handed over the task. If he couldn't get the firearm, he would definitely punish Yang Fan.
No matter which goal is achieved, Changsun Chong will be the winner in the end.
But what Changsun Chong didn't expect was that Yang Fan had already discovered the secret tunnel they dug, so he could avoid a conspiracy.
After roughly structuring the whole story, His Majesty Li Er was furious!
Knowing that Yang Fan was responsible for producing the empire's weapons, Changsun Chong still didn't forget his grudge. It was damning.
The most unforgivable thing is that Duan Zhixuan deliberately let these people in. How did he ever take me seriously?
How is this disregard for national law and failure to abide by military orders any different from rebellion?
His Majesty Li Er became angrier and angrier as he watched. He was so furious that he shouted directly: "Baiqi will immediately send Duan Zhixuan to the sky prison and let the three divisions interrogate him. If the evidence is conclusive, I will not let him off lightly."
"In addition, I have told Changsun Wuji to come to the palace to see me immediately. I want to ask him personally how he taught his son, whether he still has the laws of the court in his eyes, and whether he still has me as the emperor? Also, I want to ask him personally. , let him hand over his eldest grandson Chong, otherwise, those who protect him will be guilty of the same crime!"
His Majesty Li Er was furious and issued a series of instructions.
The maids in the palace were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Li Junxian stood up and accepted the order: "I obey the order!"
He turned around and glanced at Yang Fan, then turned around and walked out of Ganlu Hall.
At this time, Yang Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At least the hole was dug well. Although he almost buried himself in it, it was basically impossible for Changsun Chong to find trouble for himself again.
It is a capital offense to let someone enter the firearms prison without permission, not to mention that Changsun Chong not only wanted to kill Yang Fan, but also wanted to steal the firearms.
Although Changsun Chong may have wanted to seek revenge on Yang Fan, the commotion was so great that even if Changsun Wuji wanted to protect him, he didn't have such big hands.
Duan Zhixuan seemed to be just an assistant, but he touched the chord in His Majesty Li Er's heart.
After all, the Forbidden Army protects the safety of the imperial city.
Although Duan Zhixuan targeted Yang Fan this time, who can guarantee that he will not target the emperor next time.
Even if this possibility is very small, His Majesty Li Er has absolutely zero tolerance.
No one wants to leave their safety to an uncertain person.
Of course, Li Er would not kill Duan Zhixuan with one blow.
It is undeniable that His Majesty Li Er is still nostalgic for old friendships.
Duan Zhixuan followed His Majesty Li Er to conquer the world, so it was unlikely that Li Er would raise his butcher knife against his old subordinates.
But if Duan Zhixuan wants to make a comeback, he has no chance in this life.
In addition, both of his sons were disabled by Yang Fan.
It can be said that the Duan family will be in ruins from now on, and will never have the opportunity or ability to cause trouble to Yang Fan again.
This time, Duan Zhixuan met Chang Sun Chong, a pig teammate, and was completely defeated.
His Majesty Li Er angrily announced that Changsun Wuji had entered the palace and wanted Changsun Wuji to hand over Changsun Chong.
Regardless of the outcome, Yang Fan was finally done with Changsun Wuji.
When Changsun Wuji came to Ganlu Hall, His Majesty Li Er didn't know what he was thinking. Instead, he asked Yang Fan to retreat behind the screen, preventing the two from meeting directly.
Arriving at Ganlu Hall, Changsun Wuji felt a little uneasy.
Today's court meeting was suddenly postponed, which made Changsun Wuji feel a kind of depression before the storm.
You know, since His Majesty Li Er came to the throne, except for the three-day postponement of the court meeting when the late emperor died, His Majesty Li Er has never postponed other days.
Now that Li Er suddenly did something like this, Changsun Wuji kept guessing the emperor's thoughts along the way.
Entering the main hall, Changsun Wuji bowed and then the monarch and his ministers sat facing each other. This was also the past custom.
His Majesty Li Er did not say anything
Well, he was sipping tea by himself, expressionless and silent.
Changsun Wuji took a look at His Majesty Li Er's face and felt a little uneasy.
I had no idea that Li Er suddenly announced that he was here to discuss something important?
But there was always some inexplicable worry in my heart, because the emperor's expression and behavior were really a little abnormal, completely different from the past.
Seeing that Li Er remained silent, Changsun Wuji was on pins and needles, so he had no choice but to ask tentatively: "Your Majesty, Minister Xuan Wei is here. I don't know what is important. Could it be that this morning's meeting was postponed?"
His Majesty Li Er was still drinking tea and remained silent, but his tiger eyes stared at Changsun Wuji with an unclear expression for a while, and then he slowly said: "Auxiliary machine, we have known each other for thirty years, right?"
Changsun Wuji was slightly stunned, somewhat unable to guess what His Majesty Li Er was thinking.
Generally speaking, when the emperor chatted with his ministers about domestic matters, he either wanted to win people's hearts or to defeat his ministers.
I and His Majesty Li Er have been together for a long time, and they are staunch royalists. The emperor has no need to win over people's hearts.
So, if you ask this question, you can only beat yourself up and stop yourself from being arrogant and arrogant based on your previous friendship.
However, Changsun Wuji carefully recalled his actions during this period and found nothing wrong.
Therefore, Changsun Wuji was hesitant and didn't know how to answer for a while.
But since the emperor asked, Changsun Wuji could only answer truthfully. He sighed slightly and said with emotion:
"Your Majesty, I remember that the first time I met you was in the fifth year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty (609). At that time, I was 12 years old and Your Majesty was one year younger. Now, we have known each other for more than ninety-nine times, Your Majesty said. Thirty years is not too much."
Sun Cheng, the eldest son of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, passed away in the fifth year of his reign, leaving behind Gao Xuxian, 12-year-old Changsun Wuji, and 8-year-old Changsun clan.
The eldest grandson grew up and his son, eldest grandson Anye, inherited the title and family business, so he kicked the mother and son out of the house, and the three went to Gao's brother Gao Shilian.
Because the eldest grandson Wugou and Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin had been engaged for a long time, but unfortunately they could not get married when they were 8 years old, so they have been living in Gaofu.
At the age of 11, Li Shimin often came to Gaofu to see his fiancée, and he began to have a close relationship with his eldest uncle, Changsun Wuji, who was only one year older.
This teenage friendship determined all Li Shimin's trust in Changsun Wuji in the future.
During Li Shimin's campaign in the world, Changsun Wuji had been responsible for drafting confidential documents.
The world is settled, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are competing for the position of prince, with Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui being the main think tanks.
In the ninth year of Wude (626), Li Jiancheng invited Li Shimin to dinner. Li Shimin was poisoned and vomited blood. Fang Xuanling told Changsun Wuji that the two brothers had already plotted against each other and one of them would definitely die. They should quickly ask the King of Qin to imitate Zhou Gong and punish Guan Guan. Tsai.
Changsun Wuji then went to the government to remonstrate, but Li Shimin refused. Changsun Wuji said that back then, Emperor Shun was benevolent and filial, but was almost killed by his blind father and unscrupulous younger brother.
If he dies, can he still inherit Emperor Yao's ambitions and achieve great achievements for a long time to come?
If you continue to interrupt and suffer chaos, you should think twice.
After hearing this, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwumen Revolution, killed Jiancheng Yuanji, forced Li Yuan to abdicate and proclaimed himself emperor.
Afterwards, when the merits were discussed and rewards were given, Changsun Wuji was rated as the number one meritorious official.
It can be said that the friendship between the two is unbreakable.
This is also the reason why Changsun Wuji ranks first among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, His Majesty Li Er also fell into memories and murmured to himself: "Yes, we have known each other for 30 years, how many 30 years can there be in life? Do you think I am getting old? "
Although Changsun Wuji didn't know why His Majesty Li Er was like this, he still quickly flattered him.
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life and will live for eternity. Just 30 years are just passing by, so why should your Majesty feel any regrets?"
He was really afraid that if His Majesty Li Er couldn't think of passing the throne to Prince Li Chengqian, he would cause a big fuss.
In any case, as long as His Majesty Li Er reigns, with their friendship and their own contributions, the Changsun family will be able to maintain their respected status to a great extent.
, the power is overwhelming!
In Changsun Wuji's view, His Majesty Li Er becoming emperor is more in line with the interests of the Changsun family.
His Majesty Li Er put down his teacup and raised his eyes to look at Changsun Wuji, as if he wanted to see something from his old friend's face. His sharp gaze made Changsun Wuji's heart beat wildly.
It seems that this old friend is indeed unaware of the situation. If he knew the situation, he would have reacted long ago when he tested this guy like this.
But now Changsun Wuji looks inexplicable, which makes His Majesty Li Er completely relieved.
After all, Sun Wuji, the chief of the Firearms Supervision Bureau, was involved, which really made things difficult for Li Er.
Fortunately, my guess was correct. Such a plan full of loopholes could not be Changsun Wuji's calculation.
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, and Wang Huan, who was waiting on the side, immediately respectfully placed a pile of paper in front of Changsun Wuji. It was obviously the confession and evidence that Li Junxian had just given to His Majesty Li Er.
Changsun Wuji was a little stunned when he saw such a large pile of paper.
"Let's see what good things your good son has done. Although you are resourceful and powerful, you can't give up on the teachings of your children!" His Majesty Li Er said angrily.
Changsun Wuji was confused. He had just talked about the past, why did he suddenly talk about his son?
Picking up the paper in front of him and taking a quick look at it, Changsun Wuji was shocked to death!
Several of them are confessions from soldiers who were captured alive.
In it, how the general Chang Sun Chong turned them from left guard soldiers into his own private soldiers.
More importantly, these people confessed and signed in detail how they stole firearms and how they took advantage of the chaos to kill Yang Fan.
"Your Majesty, this..." Changsun Wuji was completely dumbfounded!
The sudden change made his mind go blank, and he was sweating heavily. He quickly explained in a panic:
"Your Majesty, someone must have framed Chong'er... Chong'er is the young prisoner of the Firearms Prison. How could he do such an ignorant thing as insisting on self-stealing?"
"As for framing and killing Yang Fan, although there was a gap between the two, it was impossible to risk the world's disapproval and assassinate a court official. It would be a bit hasty to identify the mastermind as Chong'er based solely on the confessions of some soldiers."
"What's more, Changsun Bin is no longer the internal affairs manager of my eldest grandson's family. He has regained his freedom and has been prepared for the government. What he has done is a personal act and has nothing to do with my eldest grandson's family. Your Majesty, please take a closer look! "
Changsun Wuji begged for mercy for his son, but secretly scolded Changsun Chong for being too stupid.
Others may not believe these confessions, but Changsun Wuji just took one look and was convinced!
Some time ago, Sun Chong kept bringing some people back to the farm. It was so normal to do such a thing!
It's a pity that he can't admit it. Once he admits it, his eldest grandson's family will be in disaster!
